DOI - A technique that uses light waves to create two-dimensional (2-D) or three-dimensional (3-D) images of tissues in the body. DOI can be used to study blood flow to tissues and measure changes in the amount of oxygen in them. This can help show the difference between normal and abnormal tissue. DOI can be particularly useful for examining soft tissues such as breast and brain tissue. It is studied as an imaging test to diagnose breast cancer and other diseases in the early stages.
